SOS Titanic is a story about a 15-year-old boy anmed Barry travling first class on Titanic from Ireland to meet his parents in New York. Barry befriends many pasengers, including one man who keeps on counting lifeboats. He is supersitious and read the story about the Titan, a ship he believed was just like the Titanic. The man believes the Titanic is doomed- it will hit an iceberg and sink, like the Titan did in the book. Another person Barry meets is what I consider a, well, psychic. This man believes that the Titanic will have trouble on the sea. When the Titanic hits an iceberg, this man knows that Titanic is doomed. Barry also has problems with his enemies from back home who are traveling steerage, until he realizes he really cares for -possibly loves- their sister, Pegeen. When Titanic hits the iceberg he has a feeling that Titanic is doomed, and must travel to where the steerage passengers are being kept locked up and rescue Pegeen.
This book was good, but probably not the best one I've ever read. I mean... too many of the characters in this book felt that the Titanic would sink... even before it hit the iceberg! Come on, almost everyone thought that the Titanic was unsinkable. Well, I recommend you read this book anyway. It is very interesting, and another hard book to put down.
